Man who looks at a face in an album

It’s been a long time since I’ve run into this woman
whose body I know in great detail
and whose soul I believed I roughly understood

past isn’t present
that is clear
but in any case there are commemorations
that are good to relive

where there was fire
caresses remain

without warning she emerges from the conjuring whisper
and declares out loud
the the workers understand very little
that the people are basically cowards
that young people will never change the world
that violence bah
that violence pfff
that anyone who makes an effort can find live comfortably

only then I notice it
it doesn’t matter if she talks out loud
what I mean is, I don’t want her to go back to whispering
